My Favorite Espresso Machine Is 40% Off Ahead of October’s Prime Day Sale

Estimated read time 3 min read


I thought it would get easier. But as an always-tired mom of an always-active preschooler, I need caffeine to get me through the day, and I prefer it in the form of a latte. I received the Gevi espresso machine as a gift — maybe out of pity — and with it I can make lattes that rival what I can get at my favorite coffee shop. And ahead of October Prime Day, it’s cheaper than ever. 

Right now the silver-white version is 40% off, bringing the price from $200 to $120, and you can apply an additional $10 coupon, bringing it down to $110. If a rose-champagne color is more your vibe, it’s currently 15% off, with an additional $40 coupon, which brings the price down to $130.

How I use the Gevi espresso machine

The Gevi is easy to use once you get the hang of using it to craft your favorite drink. If you’re an avid latte drinker, I recommend finding a homemade recipe for whatever sauce you like, for instance, caramel or vanilla. I always add the caramel first, then brew the espresso over it so it blends well. Then I pour the steamed milk through the center. (You’ll need a milk frothing pitcher — I have this one.) It tastes exactly the same as when the coffee shop makes it, but I just make mine less sweet.

Pro tip: Don’t forget to clean your steam wand after every single use. If you don’t, expect to chisel away at dried up milk. And yeah, it’s as gross as it sounds. Also, if your steam wand isn’t working, insert the steam wand cleaning pin into the outlet to clear it out.

Why I like an espresso machine at home

Now that I have an espresso machine at home, instead of spending $35 each week on fancy coffee drinks, I buy a bag of ground espresso beans for $20 every few weeks. I do recommend buying a canister to keep your coffee grounds fresh — this is the one I bought. Also, if you don’t have espresso cups, these are a great option. And here is a favorite coffee scale of ours.

I’ve now had the Gevi espresso machine for nearly a year now, and I’m still impressed with it.
